RiB’S METAL MENORAH: NIGHT 8

Shalom metaloids! Tis the season and since between the two of us we have 1.5 Jews we decided to put together a little something for (C)Hanukkah. This is Reign in Blonde’s Metal Menorah, and every night we’re lighting a candle in honor of someone who deserves some recognition. So grab your lighters Jews and Gent(ile)s, it’s Metal Menorah time! Tonight’s Honoree…

YOUR VERY OWN ANGELS OF DEATH, A.K.A… US!

Oh yeah, we’re tooting our own horn, giving us a little pat on the back, buying ourselves a drink (wait, that’s not out of the ordinary). It’s been a hell of a year for us… well, I guess that’s kind of an understatement. I don’t think either of us expected Reign in Blonde to become what it is today, or that it would become such a big part of our lives and our friendship. Yeah, we’re two tall blonde chicks that know our way around a bar and have a way with humor. But at the end of the day, we’re best friends who happen to share a love for heavy metal. We’re not know-it-alls; I like to think that what I lack Elise has covered, and vice versa. Even within the genre, we have differing like and dislikes and that’s what keeps the site interesting. We’re not your average 20-something women, and it’s been made clear that we’re not your average metalheads either. Here’s hoping 2010 is even more brutal for us, and for all of you. Horns high, and as always, GET IT.
